It's right, a Debian source package is usually distributed as a single
source and a single diff (sometimes there is no diff when the package
is "debian native"), but nothing prevents you from having several
sources and several diffs internally, see the dbs, cdbs and dpatch
packages, for example (if you want real usage examples, look for
source packages which have those in the Build-Depends).
